I went to college, I went and worked out five hours a day. And I was working on construction, because in those days in body-building, there was no money. I didn't have the money for food supplements or anything. So I had to go to work. So I worked in construction, I went to college and worked out in the gym. And at night from 8 o'clock at night to 12 midnight. I went to acting class four times a week. I did all that. There was not one single minute that I wasted. And this is why I standing here today.
在大学里，我每天训练五个小时。同时还在工地里干活，因为那时候做健美的根本没有钱。我没有钱去买食物或其它别的东西，我不得不去工作。我在工地里干活，去大学的健身房健身，从晚上八点一直到午夜十二点，每周还去上四次表演课。我做了所有的这些事情，没有浪费任何一分钟，这就是我今天能够站在这里的原因。
With the age of 20 I went to London, and I won the Mr. Universe Contest as the youngest Mr. Universe ever and it was because I had a goal. You see, if you don't have a vision of where you go, and if you don't have a goal where you go, you drift around and you never end up anywhere.
20岁的时候我去了伦敦,赢了“环球先生”的比赛，成为史上最年轻的“环球先生”。这是因为我一直有这样一个目标。如果你对于自己要去向哪没有任何想法，不知道自己的目标是什么，你将四处漂泊没有终日。
74% of people hate their job in America. The majority of people don't like what they're doing, because they're not doing it, because they didn't have a goal and then followed this goal. They're just aimlessly drift around and there's a job opening, so they get their job because they need to work. But then when you work, it's a chore. It's work. It's not fun. So if you think about it, only a quarter of people really enjoy what they're doing in life.
74%的美国人讨厌他们的工作，大多数人并不喜欢他们正在做的事。因为他们根本不是真正地在“做”，因为他们没有目标也没有努力朝着它奋斗，他们只是毫无目的地漂泊。遇到一份现成的工作时，他们就拿到了一份工作仅仅是出于需要。但真的开始做时却发现它只是乏味琐事，只是工作，毫无趣味。所以你想想看，只有四分之一的人真正在生活中享受他们的工作啊。
So people always ask me, when they saw me in the gym in the pumping iron days, they say why is it that you're working out so hard, five hours a day six hours a day, and you have always a smile on your face? The others are working out just as hard as you do look sour in the face, why is that？
人们经常问我,当他们看到我在健身房里没日没夜地健身时,他们问我为什么这么辛苦地锻炼,一天五六个小时,脸上还一直挂着微笑？那些和你一样辛苦的人,他们的脸上却写满了痛苦，为什么会这样？
I told people all the time, because to me, I am shooting for a goal. In front of me is the Mr. Universe title. So, every rep that I do gets me close to accomplishing the goal. To make this goal this vision turning into reality. Every single set that I do, every repetition of weight that I lift, will get me a step close to turning this goal into a reality.
我每次都这样告诉他们，因为对我来说，我在追逐目标。在我面前的是“环球先生”的称号，所以我做的每一次训练都让我离实现目标又近了一点，让这个目标这个愿景变成现实。我每做的一组练习，我每举起的一次重量，会使我离把目标转化为现实又更近一步。
So, I couldn't wait to do another 500 pound squat; I couldn't wait to do another 500 pound bench press; I couldn't wait to do another 2,000 sit-ups; I couldn't wait for the next exercise. So let me tell you something. Visualizing your goal and going after it makes it fun. You got to have a purpose no matter what you do in life, you got to have the purpose.
所以我等不及想做下一次500磅的深蹲，我等不及想做下一次500磅的卧推，我等不及想做下一次2000个仰卧起坐，我等不及想开始下一次训练。所以我告诉你，设想你的目标并且追寻它真的很有趣，你需要一个目标，无论你在生活中做什么，你必须要有一个目标。
Mohammed Ali worked his butt off and I saw it first hand. I remember that there was a sports writer that was there in the gym. And he was working out, he was doing situps and asked him how many sit-ups do you do? And he said I don't start counting until it hurts. Now think about it he doesn't start counting his situps and building feels pain. That's when he starts counting. That is working hard.
拳王阿里刻苦训练，我第一次见他时，我记得有一位体育作家在健身房。当阿里在练仰卧起坐，他问阿里每次做多少个仰卧起坐？阿里说：我感到疼痛才开始计数。现在想一想，他感到疼痛才开始计数仰卧起坐，那才是刻苦。
So you can't get around the hard work it doesn't matter who it is work your ass off. There is no magic bill. There is no magic out there. You cannot get around you have to work and work and work. Make sure of this and make sure of that in order stuff so it's all hard work.
所以你不能到处避开困难，无论你是谁，刻苦训练。世上没有神奇的药，也没有魔法，你不能逃避，你必须努力训练，努力工作。 确保所有这些，这都是刻苦训练。
It drives me crazy when people say they don't have enough time. To go to the gym for 45 minutes a day and work out or to do something for 45 minutes to an hour a day to improve, either physically improve or mentally improve.
当人们说他们没有足够的时间的时候，我感到抓狂。去健身房每天45分钟健身，或每天花45分钟至1个小时做某事去提高，身体或精神，总要有一个在路上。
Imagine you read one hour a day about history, how much you would learn after 365 hours in one year? Think about it if you study the history of musicians of composers, how much you would know? Imagine if you worked on business and some business you wanted to develop every day for an hour, imagine how further along you would go and get? So it drives me nuts when people say we don't have the time.
想象一下你每天读一个小时的历史，一年365天你会学到多少？想象一下你学习音乐家、作曲家的历史，你会学到多少？想象一下你致力于你想经营的生意，每天一个小时，想象一下你会走多远并得到什么？所以当人们说没有时间令我抓狂。
You have 24 hours a day. We sleep 6 hours a day. So it still gives you 18 hours. but there's someone shaking their head probably saying 'I don't sleep 6 hours I sleep 8 hours'. right？Well, just sleep faster so we have 18 hours a day. the average person works around 8 to 10 hours. so let's assume that's 10 hours, so we have 8 hours left. Then you travel around an hour a day, maybe two hours a day, so now you still have 6 hours left. So what do you do with these six hours? Eat a little bit? Maybe schmooze a little bit? Talk a little bit to people and all the stuff? But you can see how much time is available if you organize your day, so you got the work hard.
你每天有24小时。我们每天睡6个小时，所以还有18个小时。我看见有人摇头，或许在说“我一天不是睡6个小时，我一天睡8个小时”，是吗？好吧，快些睡。所以一天我们有18个小时，平均每个人工作8到10个小时。让我们假设是10个小时，所以我们还有8个小时。你每天到处走动一个小时，或者是2个小时，所以你还剩下6个小时。这6个小时你做什么？吃一点东西？也许闲聊一会？和人们聊一聊？但如果你能安排你的一天，你可以看到你有多少可用的时间？所以你要努力工作。
I hate Plan B. And I tell you why because we have so many doubters as I've said earlier the no sayers.
我讨厌备选计划，我告诉你为什么？因为如我之前所说的那样，我们身边有太多持怀疑态度的人，
We have so many of those people did say 'no' and 'you can't do it, it's impossible'.
我们身边有太多的人会说“不”“你做不了的”“绝对不可能”的人。
That is okay because we just turn off. As I said earlier we listen and we hear the 'no' being a 'yes', 'you can't do it' 'do it', 'you can do it' and all that. So that that is possible to do that amongst all the negative people around you. But when you start doubting yourself, that's very dangerous because now what you're basically saying is, is that if my plan doesn't work, I have a fall back plan, I have a plan B. And that means that you start thinking about Plan B and every thought that you put into Plan B, you're taking away now that thought and that energy from Plan A.
没事，我们不理睬就行。就像但我之前说的，将“不”听成“是”。"你做不到"的意思是“你能做到”。所以在你身边所有反对你的人中这是有可能做到的。但如果你自己也怀疑自己时，那真的很危险。因为这基本上就等于在说如果我的计划没有成功，我还有一条退路，我还有一个备选计划。这就意味着你已经开始想备选计划。每当你开始想备选计划，你就已经消耗了可以放在最优计划里的想法和能量。
And it's very important to understand that we function better if there is no safety net because Plan B becomes a safety net. It says that if I fail, then I fall and I get picked up and I have something else there that means it will protect me.
重要的是，你必须明白没有安全网时我们反而会表现得更好。备选计划就是那张安全网，它在安慰你：“如果我失败摔倒重新开始，还有可以保护我的东西。”
And that's not good because people perform better when there's no safety net, people perform better in sports and everything else if you don't have a Plan B.
这种想法并不好，因为如果没有B计划，人们往往会做得更好。不论是运动领域还是其它事情上，人们没有安全网时会表现得更好。
I'm telling you, I've never ever had a Plan B.
我告诉你们我从来没有过备选计划。
I said I made a full commitment that I'm going to go and be a bodybuilding champion.
我竭尽全力去做健美冠军；
I made a full commitment that I'm going to be in America.
我竭尽全力留在美国；
I made a full commitment that I'm going get into show business and I'm going to be a leading man no matter what it takes, I will do the work.
我竭尽全力进入演艺圈并成为领军人物。无论代价是什么，我都会努力去做。
I will do the work over and over and over until I get it and the same was in politics and everything like that.
我一次又一次地努力直到获得成功。在政界也一样，其它所有的事情都一样。
So to me, it is very dangerous to have a Plan B because you're cutting yourself off from the chance of really succeeding.
所以，对我来说有备选计划是很危险的，因为它将会阻断你获得真正成功的机会。
And the reason – one of the main reasons why people want to have a Plan B is because they are worried about failing. What is if I fail then I don't have anything else.
人们想要备选计划的主要原因之一在于因为他们害怕失败。万一我失败了一无所有怎么办？
Well let me tell you something, don't be afraid of failing because there's nothing wrong with failing. You have to fail in order to climb that ladder. There's no one that doesn't fail.
那么，让我告诉你，不要害怕失败，因为失败没有错。你必须失败才能开始攀登成功的阶梯，没有人不失败。
Michael Jordan said in one of his interviews when they said you're unbelievably the greatest basketball player of all times. I mean tell me about that? And he says, well you are just mentioning the their successes, but he says for me to become the greatest basketball player I missed 9,000 shots when I was playing basketball in the NBA Games.
迈克尔乔丹在一次采访中，听到自己被誉为“不可思议的”“有史以来最伟大的篮球运动员”时他说：“你只提到了成功”。他接着说“对我来说，成为最伟大的球员之前我在NBA球场上投丢了9000次。”
So during these games where he was so successful, he missed 9,000 shots.
所以，在这些属于他的如此成功的球赛里，他投丢了9000次。
Does it make him a failure? No.
这让他失败了吗？不。
He is one of the greatest basketball players of all times, but he failed 9,000 times.
他是有史以来最伟大的球员之一，但他失败了9000次。
Do you get it?
你明白了吗？
We all fail. It's okay.
我们都会失败！没关系。
What is another case is when you fail you stay down, whoever stays down is a loser. Winners will fail and get up, fail and get up, fail and get up. You always get up, that is a winner.
另一种情况是当你失败沉沦的时候，如果一直沉沦下去，你就是一个失败者。成功的人会失败但也会重新站起来，失败再站起来，失败再站起来。你一定会站起来，这才是成功的人。
I failed in bodybuilding. I lost bodybuilding competitions. I lost power lifting competitions. I lost weightlifting competitions. I had movies that went into the toilet and that were terrible and got the worst reviews. And in politics, I remember, I had many of the initiatives on the ballot and we lost.
我输掉过健美比赛；我输掉过力量举重比赛；我输掉过杠铃举重比赛；我有过失败的电影，真的很糟糕，得到了最差的评价。而在政治上，我记得我在投票中提出了许多倡议，但我们失败了。
My approval rating in California went down to 28% and then it went back up again and I won again the governorship.
我在加州的支持率下降到28%，然后又回升了，我再次赢得了州长选举。
Hey, we all lose. We all have losses and it's okay, that's why I say don't be worried about losing because when you're afraid of losing then you get frozen, you get stiff, you're not relaxed. Because you got to be in order to perform well in anything if it's in boxing or if it is on your job or with your thinking, it's only happening when you relax. So relax. It's okay to fail.
我们都会失败，我们都有很多失败的经历。没关系，这就是为什么我说不要害怕失败。因为你害怕失败的时候，你就会畏缩不前，身体变得僵硬，无法放松。因为只要你想在任何事情上表现良好，无论是在拳击上，还是在你的工作上，或是在你的思维上，成功只会发生在你放松的时候。所以，放松去做吧，失败也没关系。
Let's just go all out and give it everything that you've got. That's what it is all about. So don't be afraid to fail.
让我们全力以赴，拼尽全力。这就是成功的真谛。不要害怕失败！
